    in miniXP, open windows explorer rather than my computer, and you should either see the hdd listed or not. If it's listed, can you then expand it??

    Only have my computer(in which HD isn't listed) my network places, command prompt and install all hardware on the desktop.

    Pretty much same options in the start button too. Settings which has control panel, network connections , printers and takskbar and start menu options

    And programmes which has devices, startup, check disk, disk management and show usb-hidden drives after plugging
  • Oh and the startup option within programmes option is empty.

    'Install all hardware"? Is that an option?

    Perhaps I'll create a disc later and look at the options
  • Yes install all hardware is an option. Will that get me my files? And yeah Still, no rush. Gonna be up a while ^_^

    So, what happens when you select that option? I don't have that HBD anymore, I use another disc(DLC Super Multi Boot 2011), but it's a huge download, nearly 4 GB.

    How about the Quickstart folder in the bottom left hand corner, close to the Start button? Click on that and navigate.

    Not a quickstart folder. Those 4 icons next to start button are desktop, dos prompt, my computer and save screenshot to desktop.
